System for Providing Information to Client Terminal when Conducting Communication Service

Abstract

The present invention relates to a system for providing information to a client terminal when conducting a communication service, and more particularly, to a system for providing information to at least one client terminal including an outgoing terminal and an incoming terminal when conducting a communication service, comprising: a call control and maintenance server for forming and maintaining a media session to conduct the communication service between the outgoing terminal and the incoming terminal; and an information maintenance server for maintaining the information to be transmitted to at least one client terminal, wherein the information maintenance server transmits to either the outgoing terminal or the incoming terminal information-related data, which is related to the information to be provided to the client terminal before the media session for the communication service between the outgoing terminal and the incoming terminal, or while the communication service is being conducted, and wherein the client terminal which receives the information-related data provides information to an information display area on the display portion of a terminal based on the information-related data.

1 . An information provision system for providing information to at least one of client terminals including a transmitting terminal and a receiving terminal when performing a communication service, comprising:
 a call control and management server for establishing and managing a media session for performing a communication service between the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal; and   an information management server for managing information to be transmitted to at least one of the client terminals,   wherein the information management server transmits information-related data about information to be provided to the corresponding client terminal to at least one of the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal, either before the media session for the communication service is established between the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal or while the communication service is performed, and   wherein the client terminal that received the information-related data provides the information to an information display area of a display unit of the client terminal based on the information-related data.   
     
     
         2 . The information provision system of  claim 1 , wherein the communication service is at least one of voice call, chat, video call, video chat, and message transfer services based on Internet Protocol (IP). 
     
     
         3 . The information provision system of  claim 1 , wherein the information management server receives a request for transmission of the information-related data from the client terminal, and transmits the information-related data to the client terminal. 
     
     
         4 . The information provision system of  claim 1 , wherein the information display area of the client terminal area is at least a part of a background screen of a user interface of the client terminal. 
     
     
         5 . The information provision system of  claim 1 , wherein the client terminal is configured such that an input interface included in a user interface of the client terminal appears and then disappears on the user interface, and the information display area is an area in which the input interface disappears. 
     
     
         6 . The information provision system of  claim 1 , wherein the information provided to the client terminal is an advertisement, and the information-related data includes advertisement data. 
     
     
         7 . The information provision system of  claim 1 , further comprising a keyword management server for managing keywords and keyword-related information to be transmitted to the client terminal,
 wherein the keyword management server transmits a keyword list and pieces of keyword information data corresponding to respective keywords included in the keyword list to at least one of the client terminals either before the media session for the communication service is established between the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal or while the communication service is performed, and the client terminal that received the keyword list is operated to detect a keyword included in the keyword list while performing the communication service of the client terminal based on the keyword list, configure information corresponding to the detected keyword based on the keyword information data, and display the corresponding information in the information display area of the display unit of the terminal.   
     
     
         8 . The information provision system of  claim 7 , wherein the terminal that displays the information in the information display area of the display unit transmits corresponding keyword information data to a terminal of another party. 
     
     
         9 . The information provision system of  claim 7 , wherein, of the client terminals including the transmitting and receiving terminals, the terminal that displays the information in the information display area of the display unit transmits image information mixed or replaced with information about the keyword, or information-related data corresponding to the keyword to a client terminal of another party. 
     
     
         10 . The information provision system of  claim 1 , further comprising an event management server coupled to the information management server and configured to manage an event allowing a user to take a specific action,
 wherein the information-related data includes event data allowing the user to take the specific action.   
     
     
         11 . The information provision system of  claim 1 , further comprising a reward management server coupled to the information management server and configured to collect information about use of information-related data by a terminal user of at least one of the transmitting terminal and the receiving terminal and to process a reward to the user based on collected use information. 
     
     
         12 . The information provision system of  claim 11 , further comprising at least one of a keyword management server coupled to the information management server and configured to provide information-related data including a keyword list and keyword information data to the client terminal, and an event management server coupled to the information management server and configured to provide information-related data including event data that allows the user to take a specific action to the client terminal,
 wherein the reward management server processes a reward to the user based on at least one of use information of the information-related data based on at least one keyword included in the keyword list and use information of the information-related data based on participation in an event.
